1PW 8 will not populate my saved login info on most websites

Been using 1Password without issues for many years. Since OS 13 or 1PW 8, I have been having issues with the username/password not populating. The prompt pops up to click my info, but it no longer populates and I have to cut/paste my login info. It's driving me nuts. Please help.
Thanks!

update I fixed it. I tuned on "allow on all websites" in my browser extension permissions. Hope that's not a security issue.

1Password Version: 8.9.13
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: macOS Ventura 13.2
Browser:_ Safari

browser extension

    Hey @Oroborus,

    Thank you for the update, just to clarify since 1Password for Safari is a “web extension”, it needs user permissions to be able to function within the browser. Our requirement to “allow access to all sites” achieves two things:

    • The ability to scan (read) the page HTML to determine if it’s fillable. This also tells us where/when to inject the inline menu.
    • The ability to autofill (write) to the site. While performing an autofill, it effectively changes the HTML. When you submit the autofill, it will allow you to authenticate it properly.

    I hope this helps to clear things up!
